Writing Task 1: Writing an Email

Read the following information.

You are a resident of a large colony. You found a gold chain in the colony compound. You are willing to find the owner of the chain and therefore want the help of the authority.

Write an email to the Manager of the colony in about 150-200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Give a description of the chain and the place where you found it.
  • Ask help from Secretary of the colony in tracing the owner

Dear Mr Roberts, I am a resident of Building E- Flat 209, and I would like to bring to your notice that I am currently in possession of a gold chain, which I found near our resident service office area. Yesterday, when I was taking my evening walk, I came across this gold chain lying just outside our community office. It was around 5 pm. It is a gold chain, and it is around 10 inches long. It has a butterfly pendant attached to it. The pendant is also gold, and the letters A R are engraved on the backside. Being a responsible resident, I thought it would be best to bring this to your notice. You can probably send out an email or put up a note about the chain. I am sure the owner must be worried and would contact you. Please let me know if I can come down tomorrow morning, once the resident office is open, to hand over the chain. I can even help you draft the email or the notice. Thank you for your help. Yours sincerely, Emma
